Jesus Christ,
the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The whole of Christianity is built upon faith in this man, Jesus of Nazareth.
So, who is he?
Saint Peter proclaims that Jesus is...
"the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16)
The Christ? Jesus is the Anointed One of God. He is at the same time Priest, Prophet, and King. He is the Son of God but also God, the Son. He is part of the Holy Trinity, a great mystery of our Faith. He is fully God and fully man. He became man to share in our humanity, that we may share in his divinity.
He taught the teachings of the Almighty. He taught us how to live as God's Children. He taught us the way to eternal life, and when the time had come, with great humility he offered himself for our sins and our salvation. Because of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ, we may be called sons and daughters of God, and after death reap of the rewards of eternal life in heaven. God loves each and every one of us so much that he has this plan for us.
YOU are a son/daughter of the Heavenly Father, YOU can be saved through Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Spirit can dwell in YOU.
"Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
YOUR LIFE can be changed and YOU can live with PURPOSE and a GOAL.
The belief in Christ is the belief in an ETERNITY. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

Christ is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation;
for in Christ all things were created, in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions
or principalities or authorities—
all things were created through Christ and for Christ.
Christ is before all things,
and in Christ all things hold together.
Christ is the head of the body, the church;
Christ is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in everything Christ might be preeminent.
For in Christ all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
and through Christ all things are reconciled to God,
whether on earth or in heaven,
making peace by the blood of Christ's cross.
